Could be your oil pressure switch is bad also could be depending on the mileage worn oil pump.What weight of oil are you running if it is a diesel you need 15w40 or equivalant.Try running a heavier weight oil.

How do i change oil and oil filter on2000 kia sportage 4 wheel drive 4 cylinder

It isn't too hard a job it's just a messy one. The oil filter type might depend on the version of the engine yours is fitted with. This method is for the basic 'screw on' type.
I have attached a series of videos that will be a rough guide to doing this job.
Raise the front of the vehicle and support it on axle stands. The drain plug will be a larger size bolt on the lowest part of the sump, (oil pan), on the engine.
I usually use a large sheet of cardboard on the floor with an oil catch pan on top of it.
Carefully loosen the drain plug one turn. It should start to leak oil. Gently remove the plug 'by hand' so you don't drop it in the oil pan with the used oil. Let it drain until it's a steady Slow drip. Clean the drain plug and the hole it came out of then refit the plug.
**NOTE** fit the plug by hand until it stops THEN just turn it a small amount tighter with a spanner or socket. It does NOT need to be in super tight, about 20 to 25Nm as a torque setting.
Dispose of the old oil safely. Some mechanic shops will accept it for safe disposal.
Facing the rear of the vehicle and looking down on the engine, the filter should be on the left side about half way down. Remove it from underneath as access will be better. It should only be in 'Hand Tight' but you might need a 'strap' or 'filter' tool to loosen it at first.
** The filter will have oil in it and oil will leak out of the filter mount hole so use your drip pan to catch the spillages**.
Make sure you have the old filter oil seal ring as they sometimes stay stuck to the engine block.
Clean all the exposed faces as best you can. Pour a small amount of oil into the filter and rub a small amount of oil over the new oil seal ring to stop it wrinkling up when you re-fit it. Re-fit the new filter by hand until it is nice and tight.
**NOTE** This is tight enough. You don't need a tool to tighten it!
Check the sump plug is refitted and the oil filter is in place. Wipe clean any spills made during refitting.
Check your owner's manual for the type and amount of oil needed and refill the engine. Once filled walk away for about ten minutes before you check your oil levels. When it is correct start the engine, let it settle into a smooth idle then check under the vehicle for leaks from the sump plug and the filter housing. No leaks means a good job done. Lower the vehicle back onto the ground.
Give it two or three days of use and re-check for leaks and your oil level. No leaks and a steady oil level is a job well done. https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2002_Kia_Sportage_2.0L_4_Cyl._Sport_Utility_(4_Door)/oil/change_oil_and_oil_filter

Dear Expert, just bought a Pajero petrol (A) 1997 2.5L two months ago, use semi sythetic engine oil + motor-up oil treatment, noted that after 3,000km, it turn very black & dirty, why???

The oil turning black and dirty means that besides doing its primary job (engine lubrication), your oil is doing very well at its second job, which is removing contaminants, exhaust by-products, and even microscopic pieces of metal (caused through normal engine wear and tear) from your engine, and bringing them around to be deposited in your oil filter and oil pan. In short- it is cleaning your engine.
It is possible that the previous owner of your Pajero did not change their oil often enough, and your fresh oil change removed allot of build-up.
Remember- this is all stuff that was in your engine, and is not anymore! Keep changing your oil and filter every 3,000 miles (4500 km) or so,, and over time you will see the used oil getting cleaner as it does the same for your engine!

The warning light fo the oil keeps staying on even after putting oil in it

The warning light is for oil pressure.

First check the dipstick, make sure there's enough oil in the engine.
If so, then there may be a problem with the oil filter, when was it last changed.
It could be the sender, is the connection good and clean.
Finally the oil pump filter may be blocked, or possibly the oil pump has failed.

How to replace oil filter with new 1 on a 1994 honda civic hatchback

The following procedure explains how to change the oil, and filter.
  1. Before changing the oil, see that the vehicle is situated on a flat surface with the engine warmed; warm oil will flow more freely from the oil pan.
  2. Turn the engine OFF, open the hood and remove the oil filler cap from the top of the engine valve cover. CAUTION
    Hot oil can burn you. Keep an inward pressure on the plug until the last thread is cleared, then, quickly remove it.
  3. Place a container under the oil pan large enough to catch the oil. A large, flat drain pan is the most desirable.
  4. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.
  5. When the oil has finished draining, install the drain plug, then tighten until just snug. Use a new washer (if applicable) on the plug.
  6. Move the oil drain pan or use a second pan under the oil filter; the filter retains some oil which may drain when it is removed.
  7. Using an oil filter wrench, loosen the filter by turning it counterclockwise, then unscrew it by hand.
  8. Using a clean cloth, wipe the filter mounting surface of the cylinder block. Apply a thin coat of clean oil to the new filter gasket and install the filter by hand carefully threading it on turning clockwise. Tighten it as much as you can by hand, then use the wrench to turn it an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.
  9. Remove the drain pan from under the engine. NOTE: Used engine oil is an extreme environmental hazard. Proper disposal of used engine oil is very important. Rather than dumping the oil in storm drains or throwing it in the trash, you should take it to an approved recycling center. Many shops will accept used engine oil. If you are uncertain where to take the oil, many local municipalities can direct you.
  10. Add the correct amount of recommended oil into the filler hole on top of the valve cover. Be sure that the oil level registers near the full line on the oil dipstick.
  11. Install the filler cap. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal and allow it to idle. The oil pressure light on the instrument panel should go out after a few seconds.
  12. Run the engine for 1-2 minutes and check for leaks. Turn the engine OFF, then, after a few minutes, recheck the oil level; add oil. Be sure to check for oil leaks. If you find any, correct them immediately.
  13. Recheck and/or refill the engine with oil. NOTE: If the filter leaks, make sure the old filter gasket is not on the mounting flange. If the old gasket is not on the flange, tighten the filter a little more. If it still leaks, try another filter.

The speedometer repair & general tune up on my 1979 Chevy Van 30

I would think you need to connect that cable up, it will go from the back of the speedometer head, thru the firewall and down under the van to the driver side rear of the transmission, if it doesn't have cruise control, if it does, there will be a cable from the speedometer head to a box, usually in the engine compartment, where another cable will run from that box to the driver side rear of the transmission. The oil filter should be at the back of the driver side of the motor, underneath. The air filter should be on top of the throttle body, there should be enough room to get to it by removing the "doghouse" cover inside the van. I would consider replacing the fuel filter, tranmission fluid and filter. A set of spark plugs wouldn't hurt too.Take a look at the anti-freeze color. Also, check for any leaks once you get it going.

There are no markings on the dipstick to know where the acceptable level for the oil is on the 1996 Millinea. How do I know if I have enough oil?

Drain the crankcase oil into a clean container in which you are able to measure the amount. Replenish this amount up to the quantity stated in your hand book. Remove dipstick and fill the crancase with just this oil. Dip the oil level and using a scriber or a file, mark the dipstick at the level of the oil.
Notes:
1. The quanity of oil is the engine capaity less the oil filter.
2. You may wish to use clean new oil and fit a new filter. If so, use the fill capacity including the oil filter, or add about another pint.
